Allow Me to Introduce Myself…
Love this shirt!
I’m excited to share a little bit more info about me to help you understand how I got where I am today (which is hopefully working with you soon)!
Originally from Lisle, IL, I received my BS in Biology from Wake Forest University. Following graduation, I had the opportunity to spend time in Australia with an internship in PT. I FELL IN LOVE. With Australia too - but more so PT. So, I completed my Doctor of PT degree at Boston University, and my last clinical rotation I specialized in Pelvic Health.
My husband’s professional soccer career led us on an adventure across the US and Europe (where I gave birth to our kids). After 2 pregnancies and births, I know all too well the emotional and physical toll pelvic health dysfunctions can take on a person. I can also attest to how wonderful it is to live life after healing and strengthening!
I pride myself in meeting patients where they are and supporting their healing and empowering them through education and pelvic health treatment. By working together with my patients, we develop a treatment plan that meets their individual needs.
Increasing pelvic floor knowledge and conversation in the community is a passion of mine! I want more people to flourish and live healthy lives without feeling set back by pelvic dysfunctions.
To fill my cup, I enjoy doing our landscaping/gardening, connecting with friends and playing games with my family. Yoga and running are my relaxation outlets while reading and listening to podcasts help expand my knowledge and mindset.
I look forward to working with you and hearing more about your story too,
Dr. Sam Parkhurst PT, DPT
